The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler
Chapter 800 - Completely HumiliatedChapter 800: Completely Humiliated
Weichi Song nodded. “That’s good too. The Third Princess’s health is precious; we must take care of it.”
The palace maid didn’t expect them to say this and was put into a difficult spot. “Uh… Ms. Chan Yi only said to invite Master Song alone… I don’t dare to make my own decisions.”
Jian Shuye chuckled and seemingly said jokingly, “We all know that the Third Princess trusts Chan Yi a lot and sees her very highly, but she’s just a slave at the end of the day. Do we still need to gain her permission before the three of us can see the Third Princess?”
The palace maid hurriedly kneeled down. “I don’t mean it that way! B-but…”
“But what? We’re just worried about the Third Princess’s health, so we specifically want to visit her. If the Third Princess really doesn’t want to see us when we get to Huayang Palace, we can’t force her either.”
This sentence stumped the palace maid.
It was fine if it were others, but Jian Shuye and Weichi Song were both top heavenly doctors in the Tianling Dynasty. If they suggested checking the Third Princess’s health, it did make sense.
Xiahou Rong slightly knitted his brows and said, “Actually, we don’t have to go. After all, the palace still has Physician Zuo and the rest with advanced medical skills. If we go there now, we might disturb…”
Weichi Song silently interrupted him. “The Third Princess hasn’t come out in a long while, and all of us are very worried. The Eldest Young Master is also injured now and has to rest in bed. If nobody comes out to take the helm, the world will fall into chaos. We’re doing this for everyone’s good. Why would we harm the Third Princess?”

Since he had already said so to this extent, the palace maid couldn’t say anything else. She could only force herself to agree.
Xiahou Rong’s lips moved. He wanted to stop them, but he couldn’t think of any reason.
Jian Shuye glanced at him, chuckled, and said, “Officer Xiahou, you don’t look very well. Are you exhausted from the trip? Why don’t you quickly go back and rest?”
Xiahou Rong immediately rejected this suggestion. “Since you are all going, why wouldn’t I go?”
Hence, the few of them followed the palace maid to Huayang Palace.
…
Very quickly, the few of them reached the palace.
When Chan Yi—who was waiting at the door anxiously—saw the few of them coming over, she immediately froze.
The palace maid jogged over and apprehensively explained the situation to Chan Yi. “…These few officers were worried about Her Highness’s health, so they came together and wanted to check on her.”
She respectfully greeted the few of them before tactfully saying that it was inconvenient for Shangguan Wan to meet so many people at once. Other than Song Luan, it would be better if the remaining few returned.
He was just curious at the start, but he could now tell that something was amiss.
Seeing that the few of them refused to leave, Chan Yi could only say, “Physician Zuo and the rest have always been taking care of Her Highness’s health. Do the few of you not trust Physician Zuo?”
“You can’t say that—”
Jian Shuye was about to retort when Weichi Song suddenly said, “We definitely trust Zuo Mingxi’s skills. Since this is so, we’ll let Her Highness rest properly. We’ll leave first.”
Then, he really turned around to leave.
Jian Shuye was stumped but could only follow him.
Xiahou Rong heaved a sigh of relief and left not long later.
Very quickly, only Song Luan was left.
Chan Yi said, “Master Song, please—”

Weichi Song said, “Since she doesn’t want to meet us, why force her?”
Weichi Song suddenly laughed. “Isn’t she the most worried?”
Jian Shuye was dazed and suddenly recovered his senses. “You’re saying…”
“I’m old, and I can’t do things as well as before. I can’t even get a Dancing Lotus back for the Third Princess. I’m truly ashamed of myself.” Then, Weichi Song walked toward the front. “Liuyue and the rest haven’t left behind any traces, so I’ll go back to Qing Yuan Mountain and wait for their news! As for the rest, I can’t intervene!”
An idea popped up in his mind as he stroked his chin. “Heh, why don’t I meet Zuo Mingxi?”
…
Almost overnight, the news of Shangguan Wan bringing troops to Dahuang Swamp and ending up with many casualties without being able to retrieve a single treasure for His Majesty had spread throughout the entire Xi Ling City.
Furthermore, she had even specifically sent Jian Shuye and other elites to go over, but they still came back empty-handed.
Even if the palace had tried to suppress the news, there was no use at all. After all, quite a few people had seen their appearances when returning that day.
The rumors spread everywhere in no time, and everyone partook in heated discussions.

Jian Fengchi leaned against the chair and smiled delightfully. “This time, our Third Princess is utterly humiliated!”
